Avoid scanning every ref to render the commit log The commit log page shows, next to each commit, the branches and tags that point at it. Computing those labels loaded and peeled every reference in the repository on each page load. On repositories with very large reference counts, such as those backing a code review system where every change adds several references, this work dominated the request and pushed memory use into the gigabytes and response times past a minute. Only branches and tags are ever displayed, so the lookup now examines just those two namespaces rather than the whole set of references, which is far smaller and does not grow with review activity. A reference that cannot be resolved is skipped instead of failing the entire page, preserving the previous tolerance for damaged repositories. Change-Id: I4673f8821542b8ddb642257b20dc997c4e9ff6a7
